‘Witty, intelligent and very, very funny . . . it deserves a wide readership’ Time Out
Martin is kind, decent and good-looking. And look where it’s got him. His boyfriend of four years has run off with a male prostitute. His friends John and Caroline are no help – John prefers infamy to sympathy and Caroline is too busy trying to work out if her wonderful, sensitive boyfriend is a closet case. And to top it all, Martin’s hippie father turns up to stay, wearing his ‘Proud to be an Embarrassing Parent’ badge.
To escape, Martin jumps head first into hedonism, throwing himself into the gay club scene, a world of drugs and muscles, hard bodies and harder music. Meanwhile Caroline is learning that being Shameless has its price, and so does she . . .
How long can they keep up with the lifestyle? And can they find the man of their dreams when sex has become a substitute for love, and pleasure is measured in beats per minute…?
